Problems downloading the HQ images

by **zaroblan** » 15 Sep 2010, 07:34

Greetings,

I recently attempted to download all of the HQ images. The process once completed was somewhere in the region of 525 images short compared to the LQ images.

I started Forge again and started the HQ download. i have tried with both of the possible sites selected and it has made no difference. The progress says there are 525 to download. The progress bar moves slowly and the count of files being downloaded increases. When finished I go to the images folder and no new images have been downloaded.

Two examples of missing files are Inferno Titan and Awakening Zone.

Thanks,
Robert "The Turquoise Mage" Lancaster

`
The people who maintain the servers may have added HQ pics for the last several sets that have been released, or not. Hard to tell. It these servers have had the new HQ pics added the url for these pics would have to be added to the files located inside /forge/res/pics_link/.

Some of us have downloaded the HQ archives from this web site and we then rename the pic files to match the name needed by forge.

Another thing to keep in mind: It may say that you've downloaded the pictures, but a significant number of those may be 22 KB "filler" files. If this has changed in the last few releases, then never mind, but I do know that that is what happened in one of the June releases. Your best bet may be to go to pictures forum here on this site, download the HQ fulls zip files, unzip them into separate folders on your computer, then just use your OS's search function to find the right picture when you come up on one that's blank in Forge.
